Solving Malaysia's Critical Automation Skills Emergency

At SS Neurotrans PLT, we believe that theoretical knowledge alone cannot power Malaysia's industrial transformation. While engineers graduate with textbook understanding, the critical gap in practical PLC programming and automation skills is holding back our manufacturing and agricultural sectors from achieving their full potential.

The evidence is undeniable. According to the Malaysia Critical Occupations List 2024/2025, these technical roles face severe shortages:

Agricultural & Industrial Machinery Mechanics & Repairers (MASCO 7233)
Electrical Mechanics & Fitters (MASCO 7412)
Steam Engine & Boiler Operators (MASCO 8182)
Stationary Plant Operators (MASCO 8189)

The Crisis in Numbers:

5-6 months average time to fill technical positions
"Too few applicants" and "lack required technical skills" top reasons for hiring difficulties
Employers struggling with high turnover and reliance on foreign workers
40% of manufacturing firms report skills gaps worsening by 2025-2026

Building Malaysia's Automated Future

Our Mission

We're not just another training provider. We're solving a national economic emergency.

While universities produce graduates with theoretical knowledge, and TVET institutions focus on basic skills, SS Neurotrans bridges the critical middle gap - practical implementation of automation technology that industries desperately need.

The SS Neurotrans Difference:

Hands-on PLC programming from day one
Real industrial equipment - not just simulations
Industry-designed curriculum based on actual workplace needs
Agri-automation solutions tailored for Malaysian farms

Our Vission

To be a leading partner for practical technical upskilling and innovation in Malaysia.

Meet Our Founder

Head of Industrial Training

Growing up in Tamparuli, Sabah, Sidiq watched his father - the village "electrical repair-man" - solve complex problems with practical wisdom. This inspired his journey from informal learning to Advanced Diploma in Mechatronic Engineering and over 15 years of TVET training experience.

"I've trained hundreds of engineers in PLC programming," Sidiq explains. "The pattern never changes - graduates have the theory but lack the practical confidence to implement automation solutions. Meanwhile, the automation revolution accelerates faster than our workforce can adapt."

Head of Agrotech Solutions

Madlizah brings a unique dual perspective that makes her invaluable to Malaysia's agricultural future. As both a Mechatronic Engineering diploma holder and active palm oil planter since 2017, she understands both the technology and the land.

"I've seen firsthand how simple automation can transform agricultural productivity," she shares. "Our farmers don't need complex theories - they need practical solutions that increase yield and secure our food future. My engineering background helps me design what my farming experience knows will actually work."

Why We're Uniquely Positioned

Industrial expertise with agricultural practicality

Unlike traditional training providers, we combine industrial expertise with agricultural practicality. Sidiq's decade of training experience meets Madlizah's hands-on farming knowledge - creating a powerful synergy that delivers solutions working professionals and farmers can immediately implement.

Our 2025-2026 Focus:

Practical Skills Emergency Response - Bridging the PLC programming gap in manufacturing
Agri-Tech Revolution - Bringing affordable automation to Malaysian agriculture
TVET Enhancement - Complementing existing technical education with hands-on implementation skills

The Urgent Need

Economic liability

The data confirms what we see daily:

74% of firms struggle to find qualified technical staff
Average 5-6 month hiring cycles for technical positions
Industrial control and automation software identified as critical technology tools
Production processes and machinery skills top the required specific skills list

This isn't just a skills gap - it's an economic liability. As Malaysia accelerates toward Industry 4.0, the shortage of practical automation expertise threatens our industrial competitiveness and agricultural productivity.

Our Commitment to Malaysia

Building Malaysia's automated future

We're not just teaching mechatronics - we're building Malaysia's automated future, one practical skill at a time. From the factory floor to the oil palm plantation, we're empowering Malaysians with the hands-on expertise needed to thrive in the rapidly evolving technological landscape.

The automation revolution isn't coming - it's already here. At SS Neurotrans PLT, we're ensuring Malaysia's workforce isn't just ready for it, but leading it.
